STOP USING THE 13/52 STATISTIC TO JUSTIFY YOUR RACISM AND POLICE BRUTALITY.
do you perhaps UNDERSTAND why that statistic is the way it is? black people tend to be more disadvantaged and live in area with less access to social services? why is that? because of THE SYSTEM.
the black unemployment rate has always been at least 50% higher than white unemployment. black people have a lower likely hood of being accepted into top-tier colleges, while also being more likely to be incriminated for a crime than a white person who commits the same crime
in a system that perpetuates black poverty, is it a surprise that crime levels have more to do with POVERTY than race? in addition, violent crime levels have no correlation with police brutality rates. (source: http://mappingpoliceviolence.org )
13/52 IS USED BY RACISTS AND IS USED TO EXCUSE THE FACT THAT INNOCENT BLACK PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN THIS COUNTRY BY THOSE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT AND SERVE.
13/52 IS A KNOWN CODE USED BY WHITE SUPREMACISTS. UNDERSTAND WHY THIS STATISTIC IS A STATISTIC.

also, by using 13/52 you are insinuating that it is okay and understandable that police are profiling and killing innocent black people because of their skin color. it IS racist!
don’t say “facts can’t be racist” when you’re using a fact that highlights the problems within our social and justice system to fit your own narrative. DO BETTER
